BlobQuest WR improvement. Some small mistakes here and there. I think 4:05 should be possible. Very fun short game.

There we go!

No, there it is! The last PB turned out to be a 4:06.033. If my framecounting is correct, this is a 4:05.033. Do I go for the 4:04?

Not done yet.

Perfect start to the new year. Cross country skiing in crispy conditions. Happy new year!

2023 continues to deliver!
